postsack VS ImapSync

I've recently used trunk for the first time. It is a huge improvement to the current way of building a Rust wasm app. For one of my apps that doesn't use trunk, I'm maintaining these two scripts to set up a system and to compile a wasm bundle:

I wrote a cross platform Desktop app that can analyze these email backups to provide a visual clustering of the contents of your mails.

https://github.com/terhechte/postsack

It parses my 13gb Gmail backup in under a minute.

I recently finished a cross platform app written w/ Rust / egui: https://github.com/terhechte/postsack

Coming from Swift, it was actually a fun experience. It doesn’t look very native, but neither does electron..

Another nice Rust ui framework is Druid: https://github.com/linebender/druid

- Image support isn't particularly nice. Loading textures and accessing them at runtime is a bit of a hassle. Here's the code to load a PNG (https://github.com/terhechte/postsack/blob/main/ps-gui/src/textures.rs). In other similar frameworks (say Nannou or Bevy) this is usually one line (https://github.com/nannou-org/nannou/blob/master/examples/draw/draw_texture.rs) (Bevy actually has a very nice handle system to allow access to loaded resources from anywhere).

You see this https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ ? It's only for mails but it's a great solution.

I've had to do large email migrations before and honestly, imapsync is the way to go - https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Do your parents have a domain, or are they just using the provider's domain? I've set up my 1522+ to backup our mail accounts using MailPlus on the Synology, and IMAPSYC running on my lab server. But it's backup only, not archiving. That technology could be used to get to your desired state, but there's some work involved to make a secure connection from the internet to your Synology possible, sync/archive the mail, configure you parent's devices to find your device, etc.

Check out imapsync (https://imapsync.lamiral.info/) - I am using it since years and migrated tousands of mailboxes without any problems.

Check https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

I would use https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ for email and sure there is another tool for contacts and calenders.

There are two solutions for this 1. Using a tool called imap-sync to sync all your emails (it has a great incremental sync). You can run it periodically via cron 2. Using the same or similar tool and export to a database.

If you want to sync from one IMAP server directly to another, there's also the very popular imapsync: https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Have a look at imapsync. Source: former web hosting sysadmin. Used this many times to move email.
